Distribution of postoperative complications
| Complication | OCTET grading* | No (%) |
|---|---|---|
| *Grade I, trivial complications that may have needed medical therapy, but were not likely to result in a marked drop in visual acuity; grade II, intermediate complications that needed medical therapy and would have resulted in a marked drop in visual acuity if left untreated; grade III, serious complications that would have needed immediate medical or surgical intervention to prevent gross visual loss. | ||
